With the help of this map we can readily

upon completion of these railroads.
Now, if we come nearer home, and glance
at the two railroads leading into this city
from the West. the Grand Trunk and the
Portland and Ogdensburg, we shall see that
they connect us with the whole Western sys

knowledge the benefit which should accrue
to this city from this system of roads when
completed. The Portland & Ogdensburg by
reason of the roads completed and in process
of construction non assumes more impor-

and is likely to become very important
factor in the future development of this city.

A railroad is being constructed and is
expected to be completed this year, from
Minneapolis to Sault Ste. Marie. A large
system of railroads centres at Minneapolis
and ST. Paul, and great part of the immense
business designed for export carried by
these railroads will be transferred to this
route, and the Canadian Pacific and Grand
Trunk railways will bring it to some eastern
port
1t has been stated that by this route one
will be enabled to go from Portland, Maine,
to Minneapolis in about the same time as it
now takes to 60 from Portland to Chicago,
The opening Of the railroad from Minneapo-
lis to Sault Ste. Marie will bear the same re-
lation to the territory southwest of Minneap-
oils and bounded on the north by the coun-
try tributary to the Northern Pacific, as the
opening of the Duluth, South Shore and At
lantic Railroad to the territory Immediately
south of the British possessions, and which

is a link which will revolutionize the bust
ness of the whole tier of Northern States
aud Territories west of Minnesota and bor-
dering ON the British possessions. Thisroad
will run from Duluth, Minnesota, to the
Sault Ste. Marie, and then connect with the
Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk railways.
The main Zine stretching from the points
named, is 405 miles in length and when COM
pleted will form part of transcontinental
route from ocean to ocean, connecting Port
land, Oregon with Portland, Me.
The road mentioned will connect at Du-
luth with the Northern Pacific Railroad and
all roads centering there 1t shortens the dis
lance from Duluth and the whole country
drained by the Northern Pacific Railroad to
an Atlantic seaport by hundreds of miles,
and consequently large part of the bust
ness which has been obliged to seek an out
let in New York via Chicago, will be di-
verted to some more northern seaport.

The Friendly Inn.

To the Editor of the Press:
L wish to add my testimony to the benefic-
ent work being accomplished in our city by
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union
at the Friendly Inn. As general secretary
of the Young Mems Christian Association,
l have had occasion to send many unfortu-
nate young men to the Inn for temporary
lodgings. Here they have been kindly cared
for by Superintendent Kennedy and influ-
ences brought to bear upon them to lead bet
ter lives. Then again the work for boys is a
most commendable feature. Certainly the
work ought not to lag on account of the lack
of adequate financial support. l would be-
speak for the society a crowded house at the
benefit entertainment to be given in the Y

property, it is well for them to study the
map and learn the Importance of this rail-
road at the present time. We should guard
it with jealous care until the time comes
when 1t can be disposed of in such manner
that Portland's western business will be
largely increased and our natural facilities
developed by its aid. There is Danger be-
cause we have carried the burden so long Of
accepting any offer made for the sake of
Kidding ourselves of it without realizing the
Importance of the road as an eastern outlet
to the system of roads above referred to and
which will bring this port in direct commu-
nication with some of the richest territory in
the United States and Canadas. The whole
situation has so changed during the past 70

other party reap the advantage from the

MUSIC AND DRAMA.

THE sToCKBRIDGE ENTERTAINMENT.
The Stockbridge Entertainment last night
gave great pleasure to the very large au-
dience present, so much so in fact that about
every number was encored. The perform
ers were Miss Jessie Couthoui, the favorite
reader, the Ruggles Street Church Quartette,
and Miss BERTHE Webb, violinist. Miss Cou-
thoui, who has but recently recovered from
typhoid fever, looked oddly with her short
hair, but she showed she had not in any re-
spect lost her power to hold her audience
firmly and thoroughly charm them. Miss
Webb, always favorite in her native city,
showed marked improvement by reason Of
her late studies. The Quartette sang with
the same delightful harmony of voices, and
showed in the part of the tenor and bass, the
same remarkable voices. Mr.. Clark delight
ed his hearers with his rendering Of "The
Two Grenadiers."
Saturday afternoon Miss Couthoui, Grim
mer's Orchestra, Miss Ada Carey, Dobson,
the finest banjo player, and the CECILIA Quar-
tette will make powerful combination that
appear at City Hall.
NOTES.
A CORES pondent from Vienna writes that
Johann Strauss leads, with his third wife, a
simple, ideal life. When he receives guests
the piano is never open, and only for his
most intimate friends does the composer
play new composition. He watches with
peculiar nervousness the expression Of his
listeners to see whether his melodies go to the
heart, and if he finds that they do not he
throws the music into forgotten corner.
Nine. Materna, who never forgets Ameri-
ca, where she made her fortune keeps a
large album containing photographs Of all
the celebrated places which she saw in
America and she constantly entertains her
guests with stories of this wonderful coun-
try.
